Little Johnny (Why Did It Have To Be This Way)

Verse 1On a day Like any other Little Johnny Kissed his father goodbyeAs he left for workThat fateful dayThen went out to playAs his fathers returnHe eagerly awaitsBut that was just notMeant to be

As on that dayThose planes cameAnd took Johnny's father away

ChorusWhy did it have Be that wayWhy can't hateJust go awaySociety is goingDown the drainIf only we learned To tolerateFor sealed is our fateIf we keep living this way

Verse 2On that dayThose planesThey cameIn the name of hate

Now none of usWill ever be the sameHating blind Not realizingHow bleak Will be our fateIf it is not peaceThat we seekBut if peaceIs ever to beIt must start In you and in me

BridgeNow in Little Johnny's heartHis father will always stayAs in bed he does layWishing for justOne more dayOh why did itHave to be this way

Chorus

Verse 3Father, father Why did itHave to be this wayWhy do some peopleInsist on hateInstead if agreeing To toleratePart of the problemBut don't tell them thatBrainwashed Void of any loveThe error of their waysI hope they seeAs it is once againToo lateAnd an innocent life
